Specification of Letters Patent.

. clear, and exact description.

My invention has for its object to provide an attachment for suspenders which may be readily attached to the loop at the end of the suspender strap, it being possible to dispose the suspenders under a shirt, the at tachment being so constructed that it may engage the shirt and hold it against a sus pender button at the inner side of trousers by pressing the attachment against the shirt and over the head of the suspender button to a position where the attachment will press the shirt against the shank of the suspender button. In this way suspenders of ordinary construction may be concealed by the shirt, and the shirt as well as the trousers may be held in position by my attachment, which may be secured to the suspenders.

Additional objects of the invention will appear in the following specification, in which the preferred form of my invention is described.

In the drawings, similar reference characters denote similar parts in all the views, in which Figure 1 is a view showing an end of the suspender strap to which my attachment is secured;

Fig. 2 is a rear View of Fig. 1; and

Fig. 3 is a sectional side elevation illustrating how my attachment is made use of.

By referring to the drawings, it will be seen that my attachment is constructed with aplate 5 which is U-shaped in cross section, as best shown in Fig. 3 of the drawings, the said plate 5 having cut away portions 6 at its sides and adjacent its central portion 7, so that the plate may fit an enlarged opening 8 at the bottom of a cut 9 made in the suspender strap end 10. It will be understood that with this construction the plate 5 may be disposed at right angles to the position shown in the drawings and relative to the strap end 10, so that onehalf of the plate 5 may be disposed through the cut 9, and the plate may be moved downwardly and may be rotated to the position illustrated in the drawings.

Extending from the plate 5 there are bearings 11,12 and 13. It will be understood that the bearings 11 and 12 are substantial y in alinement and are disposed adj acent the top of the plate 5, while the hearing 13 is disposed adjacent the bottom of the plate A wire loop 14 of usual construction is made use of, having one terminal 15 which extends through the bearings 12 and 11, the other terminal 16 of the wire loop 14 extending through the bearing 13, this terminal 16 being bent as shown at 17, to prevent the terminal from becoming freed from the bearing 13 in the plate 5, the terminal 15 being bent as shown at 18, for a similar purpose. Inasmuch as the bearing 13 is not in alinement with the bearings 11 and 12, it will be understood that the Wire loop 14 will be prevented from rotary move ment relatively to the plate 5.

As has been stated, the plates 5 may be readily attached to the strap ends 10, so that when the suspenders are disposed under the shirt, the wire loops 14 may press a shirt 19 over the head 20 of the Suspender button secured to the inner side of trousers 21, with the result that the wire loop 14 will press a portion 19 of the shirt 19 against a shank 22 of the suspender button, thereby serving to hold the trousers 21 and the shirt 19 in position while the suspenders are concealed beneath the shirt.

Having thus described my invention, I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent:

1. In an attachment for suspenders, a bent plate U-shaped in cross section the sides of the U-shaped plate being cut away adjacent the central portion, a wire loop having two terminals disposed one above the other, two bearings disposed substantially in alinement through which one of the terminals is dis posed, the terminal between the bearings being bent out of alinement with the bearings, and an additional bearing on the plate spaced vertically from the first bearings in which th other terminal is disposed.

2. In an attachment for suspenders, a bent plate U-shaped in cross section, the sides of the U-shaped plate being cut away adjacent its central portion, a wire loop having terminals disposed out of alinement with each other, and means securing the terminals to the plate one at the bottom thereof.

8. In an attachment for suspenders, a bent plate U-shaped in cross-section, the sides of the U-shaped plate being cut away adjacent its central portion, a wire loop having two terminals disposed one above the other, two bearings disposed substantially in alinelnent through which either terminal is disposed, and an additional bearing on the plate spaced vertically from the first hearings in which the other terminal is disposed.

4C. In an attachment for suspenders, a bent plate U-shaped in cross section, a suspender,

strap having a portion disposed at the inner side of the central portion of the U-shaped Gopies 02" this patent may he obtained for five cents each, by addressing the tcmmissioner of Eatents, Washington, L. 0.
